 middle one. Ilindwhig with the discal yellow fascia broader." 



" Female. Considerably larger than that sex of imperialis. TJpperside. Both 

 wings much darker ; all the black coloration much more prominent. Eindiolnij with 

 the pale violet black-irrorated discal area of imperialis almost entirely replaced by a 

 black suflused area, the black line closing the cell entirely obliterated ; the chrome- 

 yellow subanal area at least twice as broad, the outer-discal lunulated black fascia 

 consequently placed much nearer to the outer margin ; all the tails very much longer. 

 Underside. Both wings with much the same difference as on the upperside."
